Realtors in Pune urge govt to pay workers from labour cess
Realty majors want the government to make use of the Rs52,000 crore labour cess to pay the stranded workers. The realtors said while they were taking care of the workers’ needs, it would become difficult to pay their full wages with the slowing real estate market. Last month, the labour ministry had said around Rs52,000 crore was available, which could be distributed to Rs3.5 crore registered workers. However, the states are yet to act on the advisory.
